Most recent console I have used (and still use frequently) is a Gameboy Color from 1998. Original hardware (I did replace the screen).

Last game I finished was Pokemon yellow on an original cartridge. Worked fine, after 25+ years (with a new cartridge battery).

It’s harder to review code than to write code. On our team reviewing has always been the bottleneck. Faster output would actually make things harder in some cases.

Seems like a good opportunity for me to pick up one of his physical books. I also love Return of the Lazy GM but just have the PDF. It helped me a ton with prep.

I love Skald Against the black priory, and I’ve also started The wandering Village. Both well under that limit!

I left work early one day and was driving home on some back roads. I got behind a jeep that started to slow and drift into the other lane. He kept drifting and went off the road, jumped the bank and went into a very deep quarry pond. I heard a splash and pulled over and called 911. While on the phone I heard a yell for help and hung up (I didn’t think to stay on the line until after) and ran across to find this guy barely treading water. I swam in and helped him to the bank and talked to him until the emergency services arrived.

Turns out he had some severe internal bleeding and passed out driving. The cold water woke him up, but he was too weak and disoriented to swim.

If I would have left work 5 minutes earlier or later, or if he didn’t have the top off on his jeep, he would have died and nobody would have known where. The pond was deep enough that even the vehicle wouldn’t have been found.

I enjoyed the demo for Heroes of the Seven Isles. I bought the full game when it came out but haven’t had a chance to play it much. Really fun old school point and click adventure puzzle game with hand drawn doodle-style art.

I use LibreWolf, and I do have issues with a few sites (my local utility company’s bill pay only works on chromium), but I still refuse to use a chromium based browser except for those specific sites.

It is inconvenient, but it can still make a difference. If sites that have chromium only functionality see that enough FireFox users are trying to use the site, they may update it. I know web devs check those kinds of metrics.

Someone at work made a “who on earth uses FireFox” comment recently, like it was some obscure and inferior / outdated software (our company includes FF as part of the standard image for both PC and Mac users). I did not go into my “why chromium is evil” rant, but I did tell them how to adjust their settings to fix some performance issues they were having with it. I’m pretty sure they still switched to Chrome.
